Anniversary Milestones

Most people are familiar with the Silver Anniversary of 25 years and the Golden Anniversary of 50 years, but there are many other anniversary milestones that often go uncelebrated. These anniversaries are traditionally linked with a gift to be given that will bring blessings and luck to the happy couple. If you are in a slump for what to get your spouse on your upcoming anniversary, looking up the type of gift that corresponds with the number of years you’ve been married may help you think of a meaningful gift to give.
